Mario Mandžukić Close to Atletico Madrid Deal

Reports have emerged over the last 48 hours claiming that Croatian striker Mario Mandžukić is on the verge of signing for Spanish side Atletico Madrid…

Leading Spanish daily sports daily Marca reports that last season’s Champions will snap up the 28-year-old Bayern Munich marksman as a replacement for Chelsea-bound Diego Costa. Coach Diego Simeoni is reportedly prepared to splash out 18 million euros for the Croatian. Mandžukić has scored 33 goals in 54 Bundesliga matches, but has fallen out of favour at Bayern Munich after the club signed Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski.
